Activity 2: Defying the Odds

Hello and welcome back to the second activity of the third day of the week of the summer learning journey. Today I am going to be coming up with 5 interview questions that I would ask LeBron James for an interview. Lets get into it!

Interview for LeBron James

Question 1
When did you show an interest for basketball in your life. Did you try any other sports before basketball. Or did you just know that you were going to be a basketball player when you were younger

Question 2
You also star in quite a few movies, first one that comes to mind is space jam and the upcoming space jam 2. What is it like being one of the most famous basketball players and also being able to lead a career in acting?

Question 3
when you play basket ball you shoot mostly right handed when you are left handed, why is that?

Question 4
How do you do the simplistic of task like going to shop without people noticing you and bombarding you. is it hard?. or because of your fame do you have to get someone else to?

Question 5
What training did you have to under go to get as good at basketball as you are? How long did it take you to get 'good'?

Activity 1: Rugby Superstars

Hello and welcome back to my blog. Today I will be doing another summer learning journey. With this activity I will be talking about what 3 super powers I could have and why. Also what I would do with them.

Super Powers I would Have:

invisibility
I would want invisibly so I could prank all my friends. But if anything were to happen like a super villain rising I would use that power for good. I think this power is so amazing. But only if you could toggle it. I wouldn't want to be invisible forever

Water breathing
Swimming for me has always been one of my favorite things to do. That's why water breathing would be such a cool power so I could, explore the ocean. Be able to help others if they are drowning, and so much more.

Teleportation
I would love this power so I can visit friends and family who I don't live near by. One of my best friends lives a 3 hour car trip away. My dad lives a 4 hour flight away. With teleportation I could visit them. i would use it to take my family around the world so they could experience new places, hobbies and food without having to pay. I could even be paid to take people around the world

Thank you for reading my blog. What are 3 super hero powers you would want? comment down below.

Activity 3: Miracle on the Hudson

For this activity I have to recall a time me or someone I know did something brave, So let's get into the recount!

The lost cat

Many, many years ago when me and my aunty went to visit my Nana on her farm on our first day there we were walking round the house and found a little black kitten. This kitten obviously belonged to a wild cat the roams around my Nana's farm but recently stopped visiting. To make matters worse the kitten only had 3 and half legs, one of it's legs was extremely injured it looked like it had been caught in a trap. I don't remember  much but I think We took it to the vet to be taken treated. We looked after it until me and my aunty left then my Nana gave it to one of her close friends and still to this day the once injured miserable kitten is living a happy life in a family with a little puppy friend. Now you might be wondering why this is a brave story. Well me and my family ran the risk of getting infections, having the little guy melt our hearts for him might to die in his surgery. This event occurred 5 years and I felt brave for helping and doing what we did and I still do to this day. P.S Sorry for the lack of photo's the only photos I got of the kitten were put into an album.

Thank you for reading my Blog. Do you think this is a brave story or I am wrong? I'm not sure. comment what you think

Activity 2: One Small Step for Man

Hello and welcome to my Blog.
today I will be imagining that I was Neil Armstrong when he landed on the moon. I will be writing a poem of describing how I think he felt. I will be writing a poem in the form of a haiku. A haiku is a 3 verse poem. But the catch is each verse line has to have 5 syllables on the first line 7 syllables in the middle line and 5 syllables on the end line. That is what makes up a verse.

The Step

Boom! Launch successful
"How are feeling Neil" "SCARED!"
"Just stick to the plan"

"Spaces looks so empty"
"I feel alone, But I'm not"
"don't stress you'll be fine"

Landing successful
"Wow this is awesome!" Feels great
"One Small Step for Man!"

What do you think of it?

Activity 1: Flying Solo

Hello and welcome back to my blog. Today I will be sharing what I have worked on in the 1st activity of the second day in the summer learning journey. I learnt about 2 very early pilots in the 1930's. One from NZ and one from America. For the activity I made a ven diagram of comparing the 2 and their accomplishments. This activity was really fun and I enjoyed the activity.

Here is my diagram

 Thank you for reading my Blog. Have you ever heard of any of pilots? Comment down below

Rise of skywalker (No Spoilers)

Last Thursday night I stayed at my aunty's  because we were going to the movies and it would end up finishing late. Last Christmas me and her were given a voucher for the hoyts entx lux that expires this week so we thought what better idea then to use it on the rise of skywalker. We went into the lux lounge at the cinema and it was so fancy. They had a big bar and even a menu by manu. It was so fancy! We both got a $17 piece of cheesecake and shared some popcorn that we could order a waiter in to refill if we needed. The movie was so awesome and the cheesecake was so good. I'm not going to spoil the movie but I defensibly recommend you watch it.

We planned this the week before but before we saw the movie there was one little problem. I had never ever watched a single star wars movie in my life! So for the week I was binge watching all the movies trying to prepare for the new one. I manged to do it all in time and had a blast doing so.

Thank you for reading my blog. What's your favorite star wars movie? Comment down below.

Here are some pictures

Activity 3: Scaling New Heights

For this activity I have to choose a charity organisation to read a little about and then write down and explain what I learnt.

For this activity I am going to be sharing some things about the SPCA

I love what they do and I think it's so amazing how they help animals and take care of animals that have been abused, dumped neglected. Me and my mum got our dog from the SPCA when she was just a puppy and she is living her best life with at the age of 6.

All about the SPCA:
The SPCA is an organisation people that take care of animals that have been treated wrongly. They provide animals with food, water, shelter, their chips, injections, they even play with them. They do all this with animals ranging from mice to horses. This organisation has grown so much with 42 different SPCA places around New Zealand.

When is started.
The SPCA in NZ has been around for longer then most people may think. Would you believe me if I told the NZ SPCA started in 1882. Well it was and over time the organisation will get bigger and bigger, aka meaning less people will hurt their animals or do anything horrible. Thank you for reading My blog.
Did you know about the NZ SPCA? if so comment down below

Activity 2: Discovering Aotearoa

The second activity for day one is about me thinking about my own cultural background.

I don't know much about where I came from. But I know that I am NZ European from my mother side and on my dads side I have some Croatian in me not from my dad but from my poppa, and great nana. thinking back a long time ago my mum's side of the family has always been an NZ European and my dad's side have always been Croatian. Thank you for reading my blog.

S.L.J D1 W1 Explorers

Today I am starting to do the summer learning journey. Over the next 4 weeks I will be writing blogs about topics from their website about 3 or 4 times a day. Today's activity is called explorers. For this activity I need to make a list of 10 foods I would take on an ocean voyage.

What should I take. on an ocean voyage I won't have access to a fridge or a freezer so I have to think about this.

1. Apples, I would take some apples because they take a while to go off and they don't have to be put in the fridge. 

2. Canned food that didn't have to be heated, I would take canned food that didn't have to be heated like, canned salmon or tuna or even some canned fruit.

3. Crackers, I would  want some crackers for my canned fish to enjoy them nicely. I would try find a package that will last quite some time.

4. Long life milk, Milk doesn't last long but you can get long life milk via canteen that doesn't have to be refrigerated and can after being open for a while.

4. Rice bubbles. I would want rice bubbles to enjoy with my milk and because they are my favorite breakfast food. From what I know Rice bubbles can last a while upon opened too.

5. Bread, I would want bread because it doesn't have to be cooked or put in the freezer. I would go with a lot of food and would be goof for snacking or lunch.

6. long life cheese, this would go nice with my crackers and would be a good touch to to my sandwiches. It would have to be a special cheese that didn't have to go in the fridge because most cheeses need to be stored in the fridge.

I would like to have a couple veggies that don't need to be stored in the fridge like,

7. Basil, It tastes really good and would make me enjoy my food more and make me feel better about the way I eat.

8. capsicum, capsicum can be used in many different main meals, like, salads, eaten as a side etc

Fruit an nuts would be a must for me. The nuts would keep my proteins up and the fruit would be a healthy alternative to some other foods.

9. Pistachios, They are my favorite nut, they contain protein and can be used as a garnish on food.

10. strawberries. I love eating strawberries. They are sweet. and would be a yummy dessert for my journey.

Thank you for reading my Blog. If you could bring one of item on an ocean voyage yourself what would it be? comment below

Wek 7 Pool Day

Back in the end of week 7 on Friday our hub had a pool day. We went to waltham pool.At this pool there was lanes for lane swimming and even a hydro slide. There was no diving board but there was a line to indicate the deep end and shallow end for the yr 5/6. But that day It was really cold, like freezing. The pool temperature was OK. My best friends got too cold and got out. I made one of them go on hydro slide with me then they got out. It was fun but would have been so much better if it was warm and the sun wasn't hiding.

At the pool there was this big long oblong that people were trying to go over it. It was fun for me but I would have liked it if my friends were in the water with me. I liked the pool day.
Have you ever had a pool? if so what pool did you go to?

Top Team

Last Friday at our school we had Top team. Do you know what top team is? Top team is a series of collaborative team activities. there were 12 activities to try and we got 5 minutes on each. I fortunately got in a team with one of my best friends Isabella Link to Her Blog. we did a game called gutter ball. Gutter ball, this game was when we had to move a ball from one side to the other but we couldn't touch the ball, so we used half pipes to move it. bean bag slingshot, In this game we had to sling a bean bag and try and get our team to catch it, the piece of red fabric we had to move. naughts and crosses, we had to run up and put down our symbol. hula toss, we had to throw a hula hoop over a ring secret pathway, with this we had to find a secret pathway over a grid. highest tower out of blocks, self explanatory. pipe burst, we had to fill a pipe with holes with water and cover the holes with our fingers, water bus, we had throw water over our heads without looking and try to get the person behind us to catch it in their bucket. jumping sac we all had to get into a big sac and try to move around, whole team ski we had to put our feet in and move it, a ball maze, we had to move the ball from board to board but we had to put it through a hole that we had to do the maze to get to.
Top team was so fun. Have you ever done the Top Team Challenge?!

Thursday Sports rotation

For the last 2 weeks in home bases on Thursdays we have been participating in sports that some of us might not have played before. So far I've done korfball, soft ball and cricket. I've been enjoying myself playing these sports. I still have lawn boles to do. My favorite so far has been korfball. It's very similar to basketball and netball. It has some strange rules like, if you can only block a ball if the thrower is the same gender as you, if you get close enough to them that you can touch them and you block them they can't trow in that direction, if they do. it's called a good defender shot and then the opposite team gets the ball. It's really fun and I would totally play it over any of the other sports. Thank you for reading my blog. :)
Have you ever played Korfball?

Reading Task

This week in Reading my workshop was focusing on coming up with new ideas and ways of thinking with the way we read a text piece. This week I was looking at a story called keep your cats inside. The text was interesting it had really good points and I enjoyed reading it. For my reading create task before I had even read the book I had to explain my prior knowledge/what I already knew about the text. I then had to put down some points on what gathered from the text, then my new understanding. Here is how i placed it all out

Tough Kids 2019

Today was the of tough kids 2019! You might be asking what this means? well this was a yearly fun mud run. The Yr7/8 got to wear mufti. we were the only hub that got to. It was really fun. we had to walk in the water, climb over treys, crawl on our hands and knees. climb under and over things. there was a water slide at the end. This was such a good experience. it was a 2.7km walk or run. Me and my friend Glen did it together. It was awesome fun we both enjoyed it. at the end we got an apple and then got changed. then we went back to school on the bus and finished off the day with some P.B.L planning.

Attitude presentation

back in week 5 we had attitude come in and talk to the hub. We all met in the hall and then right on the screen we see the word puberty.  attitude cam and spoke to us about how are body is going to change and how it already has changed. It was a bit awkward at start but then I started understanding. The man made us shout out body parts to make us feel a bit less awkward. The next day on Wednesday we were separated by gender and then went off. The boys had the same guy as yesterday and the girls had a lady called Emma who stayed in the hub with them. The second lesson was more  into. Like we had a quiz and learnt about things in way more depth. It was a good experience and it helped me understand myself a bit more. Thanks for reading my Blog

Ashly my dog

At home I have one pet, her name is ash. ash is a purebred staffy. my family first got ash back in 2014. Back in 2014 she was 11 months old and pregnant. she was living with a family that din't appreciate her and would abuse her. they would lock her up against a cloths line all day with no water. they would beat her. We then picked her up from the SPCA. When we got her she was a very scarred dog. She was terrified of men and would get really scared. We trained her commands like, sit, this was, stop and toilet. she is now 5 living her best life putting her horrible past behind her. Her puppies where born around the time my brother was born. in May 2014. they were beautiful puppies. out of 6 one didn't make it. we burred her in our backyard. there was a puppy that had white fur above his eyes and it looked like eye brows. he was so cute and he would bark at the vacuum cleaner. We gave the pups away to close family friends. Here are some pictures of Ash and the puppies.

How to make an apple pie

Back in week 2 at school we had an international shared. Everyone in the hub brought a food from a country that they pulled out of a hat. I got the USA so made apple pie. The shared lunch was really cool and I got to try lots of different foods I had never tried before. I will give you the recipe I used because a lot of people liked it at school. I recommend you make it, it's pretty easy.
Have you ever baked before, if so what
